Abstract: (A Few Notes on the Romanian Autofiction) At the beginning of the 3rd millennium, along with the emergence of a new generation of Romanian prose writers, a series of discussions related to the specificity of their writing was launched in the literary arena. Literary critics noticed, among other things, a general tendency towards the homodiegetic narrative, combined with the young writersʼ inclination to using their own biographies as narrative material. The inclusion of such writings in the (sub)genre of autofiction was inevitable. The term autofiction was formally used by the French novelist Serge Doubrovsky. Doubrovsky first employed it in 1977 to define a genre that might be labeled in an over-simplified manner as fictionalized autobiography. Nevertheless, autofiction as a fictional (sub)genre has been persistently commented on, contested and redefined in the following decades. Within the realm of Romanian literature, autofiction is generally associated with a generation labeled as “douămiiști” (or “millennials”). The writings of such authors as Ioana Baetica, Alexandru Vakulovski, Ionuț Chiva, Dan Sociu, etc. were systematically analyzed and commented from this perspective. The present study tries to suggest a few explanations for the resurgence of the Romanian “autofictional wave” in a historical context, connecting it both with the dominance of the memorialistic writings during the previous decade, and with the fracturist literary movement, whose members are constantly mentioned among the autofiction writers.
